MAHLE Clevite Connecting Rod Bearing Set

The MAHLE Clevite connecting rod bearing set (also called rod bearings or con rod bearings) is an engine bearing set for the crankshaft journals at the big end of each connecting rod. The bearings form a low-friction, oil-lubricated surface between the rod and the crankshaft. They help keep the rotating assembly running smoothly during a rebuild, refresh or performance build.

Key Features:

• Trusted brand: Clevite is MAHLE's engine bearing line, with a long history in passenger car, truck and performance engine applications.
• Precision-made construction: Steel-backed bearing shells with a bearing lining material are made to hold consistent wall thickness and fit in the rod bore.
• Load and wear resistance: The bearing surface is made to handle the loads, heat and sliding contact of normal engine operation.
• Oil film support: The shell design helps keep a stable oil film between the bearing and the crankshaft journal, which reduces metal-to-metal contact.
• Complete engine rebuild component: Each part number in this line is made to match its engine's rod journal specifications.

Select the variant with the part number that matches your engine. Installing new rod bearings with proper clearances is a standard part of engine overhaul work. It helps restore oil pressure and protects the crankshaft and connecting rods.
